So far this story has zero comments - let's all do what we can to change that! - - "There are 19,000 articles on Lyme disease," Stricker said. "They just picked out the ones that suited them. They say they're using scientific method, but then they go out and say anything they want." - - Doctors dispute Lyme study Existence of chronic form of disease debated Greater Danbury Connecticut NewsTimesLive.com tinyurl.com/2f4282Oct 04 2007 10:15 AM A cohort of more than 30 doctors say they've looked at all the best evidence for the existence of chronic Lyme disease and come to a basic, albeit controversial conclusion -- there is no such thing. "I would say that based on the hard scientific evidence, it doesn't exist," said Dr. Henry Feder Jr., a pediatrician and family doctor at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in Farmington. The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday published the findings in a review article titled "A Critical Appraisal of 'Chronic Lyme Disease.'" The report is based on the results of 58 previously published studies of Lyme disease. The article concludes by saying, "chronic Lyme disease is the latest in a series of syndromes that have been postulated in an attempt to attribute medically unexplained symptoms to particular infections."

You had to be registered to comment. Registering was a bit confusing so I skipped it since I only had one or two sentence to comment.
Noticed the newstime.com for letters. Felt 2 sentences was not a letter. Did anyone wrtie the editor.

Betsy, I added a comment this morning but I don't know how long they will leave it up there. Guess it depends on whether they allow IDSA members to control their content or not. tinyurl.com/2f4282
